The possible parents of Dr. Edward Maddox (d. 1694)

We’ve already linked Dr. Edward Maddox (d. 1694) to his son Cornelius Maddox (d. 1705) and his other children Edward, Elinor, John and Alice by the children’s baptismal records in the Munslow Parish record book. This paternity is confirmed by Edward’s later interaction with Cornelius, Edward and Alice in Colonial Maryland and Virginia records.

Two more records in the Munslow Parish book show an Edward Maddox buried on 10 October 1658, and an Alice Maddox, widow, buried on 16 February 1662/3. Edward and Alice could be the parents of our Dr. Edward Maddox. While their paternity and maternity to our Dr. Edward Maddox remain uncorroborated, these records are so far the closest we’ve gotten to another link in our chain.

Edward Maddox’s (d. 1658) and Alice Maddox’s (d. 1662/3) earlier residence at Munslow Parish also hints at a temporary geographic location for our Maddox line in Shropshire, England, during the 17th century. One genealogist recently listed the handful of Maddoxes who took up residence in Munslow Parish shortly after 1600, all of whom were fathered by a John Maddockes. However, Edward Maddox (d. 1658) is not listed as one of John’s children.

A research trip to Munslow Parish’s Church of St. Michael is in order.

I am doing some intensive research on the Madoc family of Breconshire. That is because I have a rare DNA Haplogroup match (R-S27900) with a supposed Thomas Maddox of Llanfrynach FTDNA kit 314145. There are a lot of Madoc(s) Maddocks(s) Madog(s) etc in the records of Wales, and I would really like to see the DNA markers of “your” family. I have found the following FTDNA kits with Markers DYS392=14 and464c/d = 16,18 (the rare combination that indicates very likely R-S27900 haplogroup. Kits 314145, 11475, and mine 180710 Thomas Pugh 1714 Brecknock are now confirmed R-S27900.

I would like to know if the kit number of your Edward Maddox is the one on my list. I will send further details if you like..

Thanks

8 from Maddox Project and 2 others all with markers DYS392=14 and 464c/d = 16,18. All with very close matches ( 1 or 2 out of 67)

Hi David. My father has taken two DNA tests – for 23andme.com and for ancestry.com. I’ll ask him for his results and send them (or the online links) to you on your shaw.ca email account if that would work. -JD

Hello again!
I wonder if we could try again to see if there is a DNA match between Edward and the Madoc/Madox etc families listed in Family Tree DNA. I had no luck deciphering the files you sent me from Ancestry DNA last year, but I have done a lot more research into the families in Shropshire and Wales. I think it will be necessary to either get Ancestry to look into the FTDNA matches. Or maybe you can put me in contact with someone you know who has relevant FTDNA data.
Thanks
David Pugh

I think the easiest way for me is to get the Family Tree DNA ID numbers of a couple of people you know.. I don’t need their names or details, just the ID, and then I can check their FTDNA data. If they know their haplotype is RP 312 that would also help..

I am doing some intensive research on the Madoc family of Breconshire. That is because I have a rare DNA Haplogroup match (R-S27900) with a supposed Thomas Maddox of Llanfrynach FTDNA kit 314145. There are a lot of Madoc(s) Maddocks(s) Madog(s) etc in the records of Wales, and I would really like to see the DNA markers of “your” family. I have found 11 FTDNA kits with Markers DYS392=14 and464c/d = 16,18 (the rare combination that indicates very likely R-S27900 haplogroup. FOUR of them are Maddox one as Maddux and there are two more unidentified kits on the FTDNA Maddocks Project. Kits 314145, 11475, and mine (180710 Thomas Pugh 1714 Brecknock) are now confirmed R-S27900.

Your Edward Maddox has the the most detailed genealogy of a Maddox family in the UK and I would like to have his FTDNA kit number, or the DNA markers sent to me by email
Thanks!

Sorry about the duplicate messages I sent today (July 8) … I sent the first one by email and the details were on a Table… Please edit and/or delete them at your discretion!
I look forward to the details to be sent to me by email
A great web-site!
